CASTED: Primary Care

CASTED: Primary Care is the ‘hands-on’ orthopedics course designed specifically for family physicians.

During this full-day course, you will learn:

keys to an efficient orthopedic history

‘high yield’ physical exam tips, including a ‘hands-on’ exam review

MSK management principles

tips to identify ‘red flag’ patients

indications for further investigations and referral

how to perform various joint injections, including ‘hands-on’ practice with models

practical, office-based immobilization options

CASTED: Primary Care combines practical, case-based lectures with ‘hands-on’ stations to review orthopedic principles and management in the context of a family doctor’s office.

CASTED: Primary Care limits the number of registrants to ensure close supervision and interaction. At the end of the day, you will have a better understanding of primary care MSK assessment, investigation, diagnosis, treatment and referral.
